Common applications our medical customers pursue with USP Class VI Biocompatible ClearVue.
Specialized 5-cycle cleaning procedure validated by 3D Systems for biocompatible compliance. This protocol ensures parts meet USP Class VI standards for medical device applications.
This procedure was used by 3D Systems to produce sample parts for USP Class VI testing. Customers must verify their own system, build parameters, and cleaning processes produce the desired results prior to use in applications requiring USP Class VI compliance.
Fill all five containers with enough isopropanol to completely submerge parts. Use only fresh, clean 99%+ isopropanol (IPA) for each container.
Note: Each cycle requires a new container and fresh IPA to prevent contamination.
Caution: Use new gloves each time you handle the parts throughout the entire process!
Important: If parts have crevices or complex geometry requiring brushes, ensure no bristles/hairs or contaminants are left behind. 3D Systems used only finger scrubbing for their Class VI testing protocol.
Critical: Complete solvent evaporation is essential for biocompatibility. Drying time varies with part geometry and complexity.
Caution: Ensure that UV lamps/LEDs in the curing unit are in proper working order and providing adequate intensity for complete curing.
Quality Assurance: Complete documentation and certificate of analysis provided with each biocompatible batch for regulatory compliance.
